CAPITAL WANTS RETURN TO OLD-FASHIONED INAUGURAL President Coolidge will soon be called upon to stale his conception of how fa an in&Ugdratioi. of a president of the United States shall bo considered a purely personal affair, to the gn.de.i entirely by the wishes of the individual taking the: oath of ofiii < Plans are being laid in Wa h;ngton to urge upon the President that there be a return t?? the inauguration ceremonials of olden days, with the President of the United States participating in parades, in balls and in other forms of uigr.iiiou celebration. 1 bete seems to be :: unanimity of feeling that ;f Mr Coolidgc were to consider only his persona! wishes in the matter the ceremonies of bis induction to a second torn would hi* the briefest and simplest possible. There lias been a decided intimation from the Whri-e House t?? this effect, it has been sta . .1 i hat a 3imple and economical iuai e.rai woii-d he in keeping: with the !if? and the present day attiU'.d? of the chief executive. But resident- of Washington and some of th" political leaders are loath to take this intimation as a final decision and they believe that when the loattei is presented to Mr Coolidge fit -ii a national point of vipiv h(- mil*' sohmertfe his own incli nation and give his approval to plam for a general celebration.

People are beginning to realize th great opportunity that iies before e I ery one that works together and be ; lieves in cooperation, especially th I people of North Carolina. ' i The reason 1 say there is a bette i day in sight for us is because \v j realize in the importance of co 01 eration. y gether and that is exactly what J ery good citizen of the stare is d< 5! ir%rv i roi'oico to ?av that thei ~jare very few citizens who are n< 1 loyal to the state in which they liv | Another reason why I say this | because we realize the important S; of education.

Alleghany Co 88.00 Watauga county factories made an average score ??f 91.83 while factories in other ?-<>ur.ties made an average r?i $9.82. Watauga stands out as a cheese producing county. Watauga manufactures more cheese than any other county in the state and according to the cheese entered at this year's, scorings it manufactures a higher quality. Mill: producers should keep up production arid continue n> produce more cheese than any other county in the state. The cheese maker should exercise care and put ?rth every effort that Watauga may aiso continue to manufacture the highest quality Ol che? p. People ahxay.- like to go where they know there Is plenty and arc forever looking for the best. Now if Watauga can continue to hoid first place anions other counties in North i arokin? as to quality and quantity of cheese manufactured, what would he more inducing for folks who want cheese. Mr. Bud Trivett, cheese maker at the Beaver l)ani Factory who won the $5<l silver trophy cup t.his year keeps one of the cleaned and neatest factories in the state. According to the scores he received at the three judging contests he is making the l> i quality. Mr. Trivett is never troubled with moidy cheese ii: the curing rooms because he turns them d. :iy and keeps them on clean shelvs. Mr. Trivett started making cheeselast spring and judging from his first year's experience 1 believe he will make a competent cheese maker. ii. i..
